They are about 4 weeks old, I know it's a bit early, but any idea yet if likely male/female? I believe the two Isbar to be cockerels and the two ameraucana to be pullets, but I'm very inexperienced and definitely could be wrong. Thank you for your time :)

I don't know if any helpful, but behavior-wise:
Nugget is the sweetest one, but also the noisiest, always chirping.
Oat is a bit mean, always proud and pecking if we want to touch it.
Both Nugget and Oat are always on perch since they're 2 weeks old.
Pan and Cup are neutral (neither sweet nor mean), they never perch at all, always sleeping cuddled together.

Hi everyone! Full disclosure, I've been a total creeper for years. I was so excited when my county finally opened up to chickens. My friends have listened to me pine for a decade.

One grew so tired of it that I was given an incubator and eggs. Ebay eggs, mixed batch, no more information available.

Sex my chicks for me? I've attempted breed identification but really have no idea and I'd love input.
I've included:
day 2 (Q nn) and day 3 (B) wing pics
week 1
(Almost) week 4

They were lettered as eggs and kept names from those letters.
Baby B hatched first from a cream colored bantam egg. Pipped and zipped like a champ. Noticable comb. Feathered feet and early coloring looked like a bantam cochin (black). Feathers began tipping up, tail feathers were slow to show. Cute little frizzle feathers. Wattle growth this week.

Baby Q is a naked neck with feather growth on its feet. Early long wing feathers showing and early tail feathers. The saddle looks rounded to me. This week Q is showing lobe wattle growth, reddening, and a quickly emerging comb.


Thank you in advance!!

View attachment 2202152View attachment 2202153View attachment 2202154I'm worried. These two are about 11 weeks old now. I think they are pullets but they have been doing the little sparring routine that my little rooster were doing....

The one is likely full silkie. The other is a mix with the same silkie dad and a barnyard Bantam mix mom.
Leaning towards cockerel on the silkie but not sure, the mix looks like a pullet so far
I know this was posted a while ago but could u still help? I’ve got 2 chickens about 5 months old. I don’t know if their pullets or roosters. We heard one crow so that’s why we think we might have a rooster! These 2 also sometimes try to be bigger than each other and like to jump onto things in the run. I don’t know if that’s a sign their roosters. Anyways I really hope you can help me:fl btw they are bearded silkiesView attachment 2202177View attachment 2202178
I’m not the best at sexing silkies, but the second one looks like a pullet. Not sure about the first one.
1. The 1st three pictures are of our salmon faverolle. She is 10 weeks. Is she a "she" or a "he"!?

2. The next set of picture is of our 11 week old chocolate orpington. Is she a She?

3. Last one is a 5/6 week old Barred Rock. She or he
1- Faverolle mix, most likely cockerel
2- blue ameraucana (or maybe Easter egger), most likely cockerel
3- barred rock cockerel
4months old. Same size as the others, no different behavior, I don’t see saddle feathers, no crowing yet, but I can’t get over this comb/wattle! We did already have one rooster (crowing) in this same group of chicks, he showed his true colors verrry early. What is (s)he?!
Pullet

First Isbar is a cockerel, rest are too young to tell

Thank you!
 
This little one will be 5 weeks on Tuesday and I'm almost convinced it's a cockerel but I keep getting told it's a pullet due to its coloring and round feathers.
